ASUS WiFi 6E + Bluetooth 5.2 PCI-E Expansion Card (PCE-AXE58BT) - Supports 6GHz Band, WPA3, 160MHz, WPA3 Network Security, OFDMA and MU-MIMO, External Antenna, Magnetic Base, Ultra Low Latency

This was my first WiFi 6 device, and the only one for now, so I’m using it with other compatible non WiFi 6 devices, so that I can’t really comment on the WiFi 6 capabilities, but it looks like a great product, and performs well with non WiFi 6 devices. Both WiFi and Bluetooth drivers can be installed from the Windows 10 catalogs, so the supplied disc is not strictly required. I gave 4 stars for ease of installation because the Bluetooth module requires connecting to an internal USB port via a supplied cable. This may be an advantage or disadvantage depending on your use case. This means if you don’t have a free PCIe port but still have an internal USB port, you can use the device for Bluetooth functionality alone, without the WiFi function. Also, for some reason, the card didn’t align properly with both my motherboard and the casing at the same time, but this could be an issue with either my motherboard or casing, and YMMV. Haven’t truly tested the Bluetooth functionality yet, but the WiFi works great, both managed and ad-hoc, and backward compatible well with WiFi 5/ac at excellent speeds and signal strength/range. Others have noted that the supplied USB cable may not be long enough but was ok for my motherboard/configuration. The indicator LED is absent on this model. Seems like a great product, overall. Will update review once I get more WiFi 6 devices (Within the year, hopefully) to test the true power of this thing.

My experience with the Asus AX3000 PCE-AX58BT has been pretty positive so far. Installation was easy but one thing I noticed that a lot of people miss (based on what I have seen online and myself included). This PCIe Wi-Fi card can ONLY be installed on a PCIe x1 slot. I was thankfully able to get this working on a PCIe x4 slot but your mileage may vary. Aside from that just install the latest drivers from the Asus website and you're good to go.Performance on the wireless card has been very satisfying. This is thanks to those external antennas which are very useful! The speeds match those of when I am connected via Ethernet.Bluetooth connectivity is very solid. The moment my workstation turns on my bluetooth keyboard connects almost immediately! No issues whatsoever.There are many cards out there but in the end I wanted to go with a trusted brand like Asus.

Used in a customer's PC. Did the job well enough at the time.

Updated review:Let me start again with Wifi 7 is a hot mess. If you are not a techie, DO NOT get wifi 7 devices and routers because none of the features you pay extra for are on. Next, you will be wrestling and mcguyvering with tech like needing to install Windows 24H2 preview, updating drivers (even test versions like the unreleased 23.150.0 drivers), and repeatedly reconfiguring your router settings. I had to do that with my current gaming PC that had a mediatek chip (of course different drivers). It took me a while and did the same things for my home server which this PCIE card went to and it wouldn't go faster than 2k up / 2k down. Then I realized, what if I move the card to a full 16 lane pcie? I realize I had to move this card to a full PCIE lane that is DIRECTLY connected and lanes supplied by my E5 1660 V3 CPU. And with a TPM chip installed, I was left with only one lane really close to the GPU to install this. THAT WORKED. From then on, all the MLO features and the 320 Mhz bandwidth on 6 ghz was negotiated between this card and my BE700 router. The server is finally connected at 3.4k~3.8k down/ 2.4k~2.8k up Mbps.So in conclusion after all of this. Yes, this is a fast card. But you have to configure it correctly.TLDR: If you aren't getting fast WIFI 7 speeds after configuring everything correctly, move the card to a faster PCIE lane or a lane that is directly connected to your CPU.Older review:At its current state, Wifi 7 is a hot mess. This pcie card is bar none and ends up a glorified and more expensive Wifi 6e card. Neither MLO nor 320 Mhz feature work - both of which what separates Wifi 7 from Wifi 6e. I have a TPlink BE700 router that I was hoping I could rely on the either of the features to work as I need it for my SMB server. However, the max speeds it could achieve is ~2k down/~1.2k up Mbps which was essentially the same as a faulty Wifi 6e card I was replacing it with. Most stable is on 5 Ghz with 2k down/2k up. Compared to a built in wifi card in my Z790 board that has a MT7927 Mediatek card, that card can hit 4kdown/4k up Mbps.I've tried all fixes: update Windows to 24H2, updated to latest drivers downloaded from either Asus or intel (which this card holds an intel be200 inside), changed various channels, width, security or any and every router setting. None of this worked and my speeds are just the same as Wifi 6e.So do yourself a favor. As of July 2025, DO NOT BUY THIS WIFI 7 CARD. You're wasting money for a functionally Wifi 6e card. I'm contemplating whether or not to return it and wait it out. At least the connection is stable on either regular 6Ghz or MLO network, and whether the PC is in direct view or in the basement. I've also searched both on Google or through chatgpt if there are any confirmed cases that they have successfully used the MLO or 320 Mhz bandwidth feature. The speeds just do not aggregate and work together nor double which is supposedly what should be making Wifi 7 at least twice as fast theoretically. Ironically enough, my S24 Ultra can connect twice as fast than this wifi card because the phone has properly working Wifi 7.

Wow. Do yourself a favor and buy. Amazing WiFi speeds at a great price. Install takes 2 minutes , download drivers and boom!

You are not buying a brand, you paying for what you get.I have running a WiFi 7 modem with WiFi 6 cards the speed was so low, I decided to buy this card, the installation was easy, shows a good quality like any other Asus products, the speed, ping and connectivity improved to the top speed of my provider.Recommended.
